ABOUT US:

Making Life Fun

Grayson County has deep roots as an agricultural County, and its primary economic assets are its many beautiful farms. This Fair was started in 2018 in conjunction with the youth livestock show to help display to Grayson County’s citizens as well as the many visitors to the county how important agriculture has been for our county, and how important it is for our prosperity in the future.
